The boys from BTS became an international sensation with Butter many moons ago but now with their group return already underway, with a new album, and new music to boot, they have finally opened up about things like ‘hate’ too.
This entire conversation happened alongside Rolling Stone UK and saw RM get candid first because he immediately said, “there are really people who just pray in their home. ‘Please, BTS, just go fall down. Just break apart and collapse.’ So we’re thinking about ‘OK, guys, for two, three years, we have been apart … and three years passed, and there are ARMYs waiting for us, the world waiting for us, so you guys had your little fun.’”
As for their reasons for coming back as a team, he shared an alternate reason and admitted, “I’ve been saying to the members, ‘If we don’t challenge anymore, then I think there’s no reason that we should keep doing this as a team.’ We have to show the world that we are still ongoing and still exploring. It’s so complicated sometimes. But still, I think we have to push it to the edge even more, even more, and it’s still not enough.”
Even J-Hope chimed in at one point and spoke about why they just ‘work’ as a team before adding, “Now that we’re back together, the other members are filling in any gaps that I feel in my expression, in my performance. In a lot of ways, I realized that this is why there were seven of us.”
For those unversed with what fans can expect from the upcoming album titled Arirang, it features 14 tracks, and the press release even claims “the album is packed with honest stories that BTS wants to share with ARMY, who have been waiting for their pm comeback as a whole group. Filled with the music that’s most true to BTS, the album is their heartfelt way of saying thank you to ARMY, who have been there this whole time.”
